The Push Institute is dedicated to the spirit of inquiry, organizing research around basic lines of discovery: “What is emerging?” “What impact will it have?” “What are the factors contributing to these activities, and how do they extend into other domains?” “How do other vectors of change converge on this issue, and how might they influence its adoption or spread?” The ultimate objective of this line of inquiry is to 1) understand the deepest forces of change and how they're shaping the world in which we live, and 2) help individuals and organizations discover their future potential by connecting global trends to local concerns and commitments. The Push Institute is a nonprofit organization under the 501(c)(3) section of the Internal Revenue Code.
MISSION	POINT OF VIEW
The Push Institute mission is to "Stamp Out Short-Sightedness."  This ambitious goal is supported by research, education, training and tools that foster change literacy and the practice of strategic foresight among decision-makers in business, government and community organizations.	Our programs and services are based on the following assumptions: Understanding the forces and laws that govern change is necessary for anticipating challenges and opportunities ahead The power to invent the future depends on the capacity to imagine it What you can't see can hurt you Leadership starts with vision, proceeds with courage, and followed by committed action The one thing that doesn't change is human nature More foresight = better decisions today, less risk tomorrow
